Camera not rotating

Hey guys! Creeperbot65 here!

I’m having an error with rotating my cut scene camera and it just won’t rotate at all no matter what I do! Same thing goes for the door opening animation.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class StartingScene : MonoBehaviour {

	public Text DialougeBox;
	private double Timer;
	public AudioClip FootstepSound1;
	public AudioClip FootstepSound2;
	public AudioClip FootstepSound3;
	public AudioClip FootstepSound4;
	public AudioClip DoorOpen;
	public Transform Player;
	private int RandomFootStep;
	public GameObject Darkness;
	public Transform Door;

	public bool StartingSceneEnabled;

	void Awake () {
		StartingSceneEnabled = true;
		DialougeBox.text = "";
	}

	void Update () {

		//Increaces the time in seconds for dialouge
		if (Time.time > Timer && Timer < 26) {
			if (Timer != 24) {
				Timer = Mathf.Round (Time.time + 1);
			}
			if (tag != "Player") {
				if (Timer < 21) {
					RandomFootStep = Random.Range (1, 4);
					if (RandomFootStep == 1) {
						AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint (FootstepSound1, new Vector3 (Player.position.x, Player.position.y, Player.position.z));
					} else if (RandomFootStep == 2) {
						AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint (FootstepSound2, new Vector3 (Player.position.x, Player.position.y, Player.position.z));
					} else if (RandomFootStep == 3) {
						AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint (FootstepSound3, new Vector3 (Player.position.x, Player.position.y, Player.position.z));
					} else if (RandomFootStep == 4) {
						AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint (FootstepSound4, new Vector3 (Player.position.x, Player.position.y, Player.position.z));
					}
				}
			}
		} else if (Timer > 23) {
			if (tag != "Player") {
				DialougeBox.text = "";
				if (Timer == 24) {
					AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint (DoorOpen, new Vector3 (Player.position.x, Player.position.y, Player.position.z));

					for (int i = 0; i > 900; i++) {

                                            //Error is here!

						Door.Rotate (0, 0.10f, 0);
						Door.position = new Vector3 (Door.position.x + 0.00074444444f, Door.position.y, Door.position.z + 0.00063333333f);
					}

					Timer = 25;

				}

				if (Timer == 27) {
					Timer = 28;
					GameObject MusicBGGameobject = GameObject.Find ("FPSController");
					BGMusic BGMusicScript = MusicBGGameobject.GetComponent<BGMusic> ();
					BGMusicScript.MusicSel = 2;
					BGMusicScript.PlayMusic = true;
					Instantiate (Darkness, new Vector3 (-0.2f, 1.09f, 8.28f), new Quaternion (0, 0, 0, 0));
					StartingSceneEnabled = false;
				}
			}
		}

		//The starting texts
		if (tag != "Player") {
			if (Timer == 2) {
				DialougeBox.text = "Gees, My friends are such a******s.";
			} else if (Timer == 6) {
				DialougeBox.text = "Forcin' me to go down here or else they'll burn my house down.";
			} else if (Timer == 12) {
				DialougeBox.text = "";
			} else if (Timer == 15) {
				DialougeBox.text = "They certainly don't sound like friends now.";
			} else if (Timer == 19) {
				DialougeBox.text = "";
			} else if (Timer == 23) {

				//Error is here!

				float tiltAroundY = Player.rotation.y;
				float tiltAroundX = 38.29f;
				float tiltAroundZ = Player.rotation.z;
				Quaternion target = Quaternion.Euler (tiltAroundX, tiltAroundY, tiltAroundZ);
				Player.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp (Player.rotation, target, 0.1f);

				DialougeBox.text = "I'm here...";

			}
		}

		//Scripts for moving player
		if (Timer < 19) {
			Player.transform.position = new Vector3 (Player.transform.position.x, Player.transform.position.y - 0.01f, Player.transform.position.z + 0.01f);
		}
	}
}

Thanks!

Try doing the rotation in a coroutine:

private IEnumerator LookDownRoutine (float angle = 38.29f, float tolerance = 0.01f)
{
	// Set up the angle we intend to use and adjust the x component
	Vector3 lookAngle = this.transform.rotation.eulerAngles;
	WaitForEndOfFrame wait = new WaitForEndOfFrame ();

	// Check how close we are to the desired rotation
	while (Mathf.Abs (this.transform.rotation.eulerAngles.x - angle) > tolerance) {
	
		// Convert back to a Quaternion and Slerp
		lookAngle.x = angle;
		this.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp (this.transform.rotation, Quaternion.Euler (lookAngle), 0.1f);

		// Then wait a frame
		yield return wait;
	}
}

Your block would then become:

} else if (Timer == 23) {

		// Use a coroutine here to make sure it works properly over time.
		this.StartCoroutine (this.LookDownRoutine ());

		DialougeBox.text = "I'm here...";
	}
}

Hey!
I’m not sure if rotting inside a for loop is the best choice. The for loops through before continuing with the next lines of code.

I would put the roation in an update with a counter. So you just have an int i += Time.deltaTime * (your value for speed). then I would put that int as the rotation angle of the axis that you need.

Void Update()

``{
int i += Time.deltaTime * Speed;
Door.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(new Vector3 (0, i, 0));
}

hope this answers your question!
